If Wilson combat mags for 1911's come in 7 or 8 rnd configuration, & they are the same length, what would be the reason for chosing the 7 rounder over the 8?

I've used the 7s for quite a while. And in some shit hole situations - the 7s are absolutely the best (compared to other brands). I called Wilson, and asked how could they manage to get 8 rounds in a 7 round mag. Guy told me they made the follower concave instead of convex, and took one (or was it two?) loops out of the spring. I asked him, in his experience with sales, customer stories, etc which mags were more reliable - he said the 7s. That convinced me to stick with the 7s. Plus, I don't like it when I force an 8 into the weapon with a loaded chamber; I don't like feeling that mag spring compress that much. (I posted the call info a while back...I'll check the Archive because I can't remember how many loops they removed from the spring) EDIT: Nevermind - search gave me 11 pages and I'm not that curious... |
